One of the reasons Santa Claus is so productive in toy making is because he spends a lot of time in the workshop with the elves listening to their challenges and success.

This concept of “going out to the field” is rooted in LEAN and Six Sigma philosophy and captures the value of a leader’s presence in the field, observation of the work where it is being done, and the teaming of people and process in the spirit of Kaizen.

This presentation will use Santa Claus and his workshop as a backdrop to better understand GEMBA walks and how it is a useful process for driving overall quality in an organization.

When the project team understands how the workplace functions, they are better able to produce quality outcomes and capabilities while providing a better transition to operations.

Santa and his helpers will look at five aspects of the Gemba Walk and discuss how it’s a vital component of a project manager’s success.

Learn:

  1. What is a Gemba Walk?
  2. How is a Gemba Walk Conducted?
  3. What are KPI’s?
  4. Why is having the elves lead the KPI review so critical to its success?
  5. Gemba and Agile; How does the Gemba Walk reduce waste and improve quality?

Live Webinar December 11th, 2018 – 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm EST
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU
Provider: Human Capital Institute

Recruiting is often treated as a series of events …

  1. Posting jobs,
  2. Accepting applications,
  3. Screening applicants and
  4. Interviewing candidates

All involve structured activities with a clearly defined beginning and end.

Traditional “event driven” recruiting methods are not optimized for a digitalized world characterized by expectations of constant connectivity and continuous change.

In this session Jeff Mills (LinkedIn profile) Director of Solution Marketing for Recruiting and Onboarding, SuccessFactors, an SAP Company & Kevin Daprile (LinkedIn profile) Director, Global Employer Branding, SAP explore how companies are rethinking recruiting to focus on building and maintaining candidate relationships.

They will discuss the role that technology, company culture and recruiter capabilities play in transforming staffing from a series of steps for hiring people to a continuous method of engaging talent.

Kevin & jeff will also share how to connect with candidates in new and innovative ways to prepare for The Human Revolution.

From this session you’ll:

  1. Understand how the candidate landscape has changed
  2. Realize how ongoing engagement impacts recruiting
  3. Learn the role of process vs technology
